According to Director, Award Winning Filmmaker and Author Pete Dickson, fiction writing is just a fancy name for 'making sh*t up' and well, he's absolutely right. While Pete is one of Australia's most respected and sought-after sporting documentary makers, it turns out he's also pretty good at writing books, with his second book (and first fiction) being picked up by a major US publisher before they'd even had a phone call! Pete is a truly gifted creator, writer and storyteller but perhaps what I love most (and you might too) is his humility, complete lack of ego and his unintentionally-charming self-doubt. Pete's brother Rob was one of my best mates who unfortunately passed away and so for a range of reasons, I love catching up with him and this (very public) catch-up was great. Enjoy.
